Endowed funds are an essential tool for ensuring current and future financial stability. Each year, a strategically calculated percentage of a fund’s investment returns is withdrawn and utilized, while the balance remains protected and continues to increase in value as the value of the invested funds grows.
Catholic Central’s endowed funds, managed by the Catholic Foundation of West Michigan, are strategically invested in companies that are aligned with Catholic social teaching, that will protect the fund principal, and that will yield strong growth.
Catholic Central’s endowed funds are a critical component of the school’s current and future vitality. Some endowed funds support tuition assistance, enhancements to the teaching experience, and technological advancements, while other funds are available for more general use as school leadership sees needs arise.
While annual fundraising addresses the immediate needs of the school, the endowment is a reliable safeguard that ensures long-term financial sustainability.
Donors who give to Catholic Central’s endowed funds do so because they are interested in ensuring that CC remains excellent in the Catholic tradition for decades, and centuries, to come.
